"I got this from a Maker's Mark mailing list I'm on, straight from the owner of Maker's Mark, Bill Samuels. He calls it "Maker's Mark Bourbon Eggnog", but any bourbon should do (although Maker's Mark is my favorite)."

This eggnog is fantastic! I fixed it for Christmas Eve and everyone loved it (plus, I bought the cheapest bourbon I could find). Follow the directions so as not to short-change the creaminess. Despite its reputation, I plan to serve this drink on a hot, summer night. Thanks for the recipe.
